Compatibility

Operating System Support:

Requires the Windows® 10 or Windows® 10 Professional Operating System.

Intel® Processor Support:

This MSI Motherboard has a LGA-1151 v2 Processor Socket which supports 8th Gen Intel® Core™ "Coffee Lake" Desktop Processors. Even though it is a LGA 1151 Socket, pin assignments have changed with v2, making this Motherboard incompatible with 7th and earlier Gen Intel® Processors.

This Motherboard initially supports these Intel® Core™ processors, with more processor options expected later on:

This Motherboard only supports 8th Gen Intel Core Processors on the LGA 1151 Socket. Pin assignments have changed, so 7th Gen and earlier LGA 1151 socket processors will not work. Any damage to this motherboard and / or 7th Gen and earlier LGA 1151 socket processors when used together voids the warranty of both products.
